Abstract
A label printer enables drop-in loading of linerless label paper rolls and prevents print defects caused by variation in the label paper transportation and the readhesion of chaff to the label paper. A pair of roll guiding membersandlimit the position of the outside of the label paper rollto a position separated a predetermined distance from the label paper entranceby contacting the outside of the label paper rollinside the roll paper compartmentof the label printerat a position offset from the label paper entrancetoward the center of the roll paper compartment. The roll guiding membersandare members with low friction resistance when in contact with the outside of the label paper roll, and thus reduce the friction that can cause inconsistent paper transportation and chaff from wear.
